They have opened their new store 459 Con-
gress street, Clapp's Block, this season, and
have stocked with the incest assortment that
could be made. They make all their own
silk and stiff hats. Every one of this firm,
and four of the brothers, are connected with
it, have served their time at the hatter's
bench, and are perfect judges of hats. They
claim that with their advantage of being

ever was sold before; at short notice they
will make any kind of hat or cap to order
without any extra charge. They also keep a
full assortment of gloves. umbrellas and
travelling bags.

(coNFIDENTLAL)
Being in Boston yesterday in the
wholesale silk department of r. H.
White & Co., they were speaking of
Ny 50 cent "odd Silk Sale" that has
developed so much enthusiasm.
They said that they had lot Of new
styles of Summer Silks in nice dark
shades, lined of with hair lines, very
handsome effects.
Having only about GOO yards of
them it was not worth while putting
them in their retail store to make
noise over.
So they suggested that take them
down to Portland and put them in
my 20 cent "Odd Silk Sale.
took the lot and-this in the con-
fidential part of it-instead of asking
30 cents for them am going to excite
somebody by running them at 37A cts.

Cheaper than Spring poetry, and
twice as nutritious.
They win make nice graduating
dresses, lovely wedding and party
costumes, or effective election suits
when the ladies vote, Though more
then suspect they win be out Of fash
ion long before that day..
These checked Summer Silks at s7a
cts. yard.
Together with the balance Of our

where everybody can see them.

GEO. w. BEAVERTON.
An Old Newspaper Man Dies
Suddenly.

Mr.. beaverton was chatting good-natur.
edly with brother typos at the Western
Newspaper Union building after dinner
yesterday, and entered upon his work at
| O'Clock. He complained little of "diz-
siness" and about o'clock went to his room
at the Arlington. An hour aiterward, II
servant notified Mr. Record, proprietor. that
Mr.. Leayerton was very sick. Going at
once to him, Mr.. Record found him un-
conscious, irothing at the mouth and vom-
iting. A physician was telephoned and
another sent for, but long before either
arrived the sufferer was relieved
by death. Mr.. beaverton has
for the past ten years published papers at
Crockett, Jacksonville, Anderson. Morgan
and Clifton, in the order named. He was
whole-souled kind hearted man, but, rs
may be said of many others, whisky was
his worst enemy, and his weakness for ii
his great fault He has been IN intomper-
ate drinker as far back as nine years ago,
and because of that habit, has gradually
lost his property, his self-control, his hold
on the world and life. We have known
him all this time and have watched his
course. Industrious, generous, of average
intelligence, with wife and children to live
for. he would have succeeded III the world,
but for whisky. Two years ago his last
bit of printing material faded away in the
fumes OF liquor, his wife lost her reason,
and his children were scattered among
friends. Friend beaverton was strong and
industrious, ,and earned fair wages, but
the saloon.keeper and not his family got the
benefit of it.
HIS family, consisting Of wife and
daughters, are in different portions Of the
statewith relatives, his purpose being to
have them all come TO this city as soon as he
could get ON his feet" as he said. But
the drink habit held him fast as 1t has held
aud is holding thousands of good men.
Whisky caused his failure in business;
whisky broke the heart of his poor wife;
whisky has cast gloom over the life-paths
of his. children; whisky killed him. Who
will dare to deny this? He came
to Dallas three months ago.
According to his own state =
ment. he has been "running from whisky
for years." and 1t has, been too strong for
him. His life and death make up an unan-
swerable argument against the man-traps,
az lnst which he declared, only yesterday,
his purpose vote.

THE FIRE.
Undoubtedly the Work of an
Inccndiary.

The fire last night was on Germanla street
near San Jacinto. the home OF Mr.. Geo.
Godsey. The family barely escaped with
their lives, losing the contents of their
home entirely, excepting two trunks. In
surance $500 Oh house and 500 on iurni-
ture, in the Niagara. The flames originate
ed in the rear portion of the house and had
enveloped the entire building by the time
Mr.. Godsey and family got out of the door,
The cause of the fire is not known, but
there being no other conceivable origin. 1t
is believed an incendi"ry did the work.
That portion of the city has no means of
sending in an alarm, and a boy was dis
patched to the engine house for help. by
the time tn. iremen came the house was
nearly consumed. Mr.. Sutherland's home
adjoins Mr.. Godsey's and was saved by put
ting out the fire just in sthe nick of time.
Everything was taken out of Mr., SIS home
by himselfand neighbors in good shape,
for which he desires 10 thank friends who
assisted him.
